2RS NSK Deep Groove Ball Bearing 20x52x15, part number 6304.
About this bearing
Bearings let the drum or shaft spin smoothly. Once a bearing wears, the appliance becomes noisy and the seal will eventually fail.
Signs it needs replacing
- A rumbling or roaring noise during spin
- Play in the drum when rocked by hand
- Rust-coloured water marks on the laundry
